  1. Pipe system life time cost • Energy will be increasingly precious • Environment focus will grow • The pipe system is expensive • Life time expectancy is over 30 Years

  2. What is life time cost ? • Investment cost • Pipe material • Pipe installation • Excavation and restoration • Inspection • Operation cost • Pumping • Heat loss • Maintenance cost • Repairs • Management

  3. The Calculation Example • The model system supplies 10 MW • Flow 90OC and return 50OC • The pipe system is: • 2 x 1000 m. DN 250 • 2 x 1500 m. DN 80 • 100 consumer connections a´100 kW 2 x 2500 m. DN 32 • 100 consumer connections a´10kW 2 x 2000 m. 18 mm. Cu-flex

  4. Investment costThump rules • Pipes 380 000 EUR • Insulation series 2 + 12% • Double Pipes + 25% • X-linked shrink joints +5% • Pipe installation 50% of pipes • Inspection 0- 50 000 EUR • Excavation 100% of pipes • Series 2 + 15% • Double – 20% • Asphalting 50% of pipes

  5. Heat conductivity l lPUR = lSOLID +lRADIATION +lGAS • lSOLID is not changing over time • lRADIATION is not changing over time • lGAS varies with the diffusion • lSOLID +lRADIATION app. 6 – 12 mW/mK depending upon the cell structure

  6. The gas composition • The gas is Cyklopentane, CO2 and air • Cyklopentane, CP 40% • Carbon dioxide, CO2 55% • Air ( N2 + O2 )5%

  7. Lambda gas • Cyklopentane: 0,012 W/mK • Carbon dioxide: 0,017 W/mK • Air: 0,027 W/mK

  8. Lambda values new Logstor pipes • Conti pipes: 0.024 W/mK • Traditional pipes: 0,0275 W/mK • Flex pipes: 0,025 W/mK

  9. Lambda ageingTraditional vs. Conti w. Barrier mW/mK

  10. German failurestatistic 2000 5

  11. Swedish failure statistics 1998-2001 5

  12. Failure rates • With simple and cheap joints Joint failures may be > 0,5 failure/km./year • With PEX shrink joints or weld joints joint failures are < 0,05 failure/km./year • With low inspection rates Weld seam failures may be > 0,2 failure/km./year • With proper inspection Weld seam failures may be < 0,02 failure/km./year

  13. Failure costs • The repair cost for a simple failure is estimated 3 000 EUR • The example: • With cheap joints, repair cost is 20 000 EUR / year • With PEX- and weld joints, it is < 2 000 EUR / year • With low inspection, weld repair cost is 10 000 EUR / year • With proper inspection, it is 1 000 EUR / year • Do it cheap and easy and you have high repair costs • Do it right and you have low repair costs

  14. Life time costs The following picture compares: “Series 1 cheap”: • DN 25, DN 32, DN 80, DN 250 all traditional without barrier, cheap joints and low inspection level. “Series 1 barrier”: • 18 Cu-flex, DN 32, DN 80, DN 250 Conti pipes with barrier, PEX joints and proper inspection Series 2 barrier: • 18 Cu-flex, DN 32, DN 80, DN 250 Conti pipes with barrier, PEX joints and proper inspection Double pipes: • 18 Cu-flex, DN 32, DN 80, all double and DN 250 Conti pipes with barrier, PEX joints and proper inspection Const. Flow: • is Series 1 cheap with constant flow pumps

  15. Life time costs kEUR Present values

  16. Life time cost Calculation settings: • Pumping energy 1% of total heat supply • Constant flow pumps 3% of total heat supply • Heat price 0,025 EUR/kWh • Power price 0,06 EUR/kWh • All amounts as present value over 20 years • Inflation 2% • Energy price rise 2% • Bank interest 6%

  17. The lessons are: • Do not save on inspection • Do not accept “cheap” joints • Keep your heat loss down • Use flow controlled pumps
